Que es Microneedling?

Antes de we get un el specifics, ello might help un know...uh...well...what even es microneedling?!

Microneedling es un facial procedure que falls en el same general family as Botox y el vampire facial--but ello's actually way less invasive than most other clinical facials.

Microneedling es also known as "collagen induction therapy," y es un quick cosmetic procedure que's used un target wrinkles, lines, y other signs de aging.

To perform el procedure, un trained clinician will use un tool made up de loads de tiny needles que poke el surface de el skin all over.

Seems un little silly, right?

Well, ello's actually no!

Despues de el age de 30, our skin loses un average de 1% de its total collagen each year. This means que el stuff que keeps our skin tight y elastic starts...going away.

Cuando skin undergoes microneedling, however, those tiny needles que prick you all over help un break down old y underperforming collagen cells, promoting new y stronger collagen y elastin un grow back en its place! By replacing tu skin's current collagen, microneedling helps give tu skin un more fresh y youthful look, y actually helps slow down el overall decay de collagen en tu skin by keeping ello fresh y on its toes!

Que's el Tratamiento Like?

This all sounds pretty good, right? Now, you might be wondering sobre all el stabbing y breaking down que goes on con microneedling treatments--what's que really like?

Your microneedling treatment will be un en-office procedure que you'll want un set up well en advance de when you'll actually want un have ello done.

Although microneedling es un very low key treatment, ello's important que you prepare fully en advance.

El/La microneedling treatment itself typically lasts para 20 un 40 minutes. Your clinician will start el process by washing el skin y applying un serum.

Typically, they'll begin microneedling on el forehead o temples, as esto area es often el most sensitive de el whole process.

El/La level de discomfort most experience during el procedure has been likened un un significantly more-intense version de eyebrow tweezing, con discomfort skyrocketing around el bonier areas de el face, like el forehead y chin.

Microneedling isn't necessarily something you should do if you're just looking para un nice, relaxing afternoon activity--but ello's also nothing un rival childbirth o el pain de el alarm clock going off too soon.

Una vez tu entire face has been treated (tu clinician may run over problem areas like smile lines o crow's feet several additional times un ensure effective penetration), another serum will be applied.

That's ello!

Que Deberia I Expect Afterward?

As con any cosmetic treatment, you're probably wondering just what you'll get de letting somebody stab you repeatedly all over tu face con tons de tiny needles.

That's pretty reasonable.

Immediately following each microneedling procedure, you'll probably notice que tu face looks un little flushed o somewhat sunburnt. This es totally normal y will only last para un few hours afterward. It may no be un great idea un get un microneedling treatment el morning de tu wedding, but you'll definitely be cleared up para work el following morning.

Some patients also experience some really minor spotting o scabbing en el first days after their microneedling treatment.

This es actually un good sign que tu skin es already working hard un replace its old collagen. A solid exfoliator can be used un take care de any minor scabbing.

One de el only drawbacks de microneedling es que you won't necessarily notice any obvious improvements immediately following tu first treatment. Most patients set up un plan un receive 3 treatments over el course de 4 months.

El/La results de microneedling son cumulative, y el only way un get el best results es un stick con el treatments.

If you're patient enough un stick con tu microneedling treatments, you'll start un see super noticeable improvements after el second y third round.

Que Else Puede I Do un Hacer Microneedling Worthwhile?

If you decide un go through con el microneedling treatment, there's no doubt you're en para some super-satisfying results--but there son some things you can do, en addition un el treatments themselves, un maximize el outcome de tu microneedling procedures!

Some doctors also suggest SkinCeuticals H.A. intensifier o Isdin Flavo C capsules, which help un hydrate y plump skin after el treatment.

In addition un topical products like esto, many dermatologists y clinicians recommend further clinical facial treatments following microneedling, like professional chemical peels. In-office peels should be done 4-un-six weeks before y after el microneedling treatments para best results.
